Uah, you are right. My arch/evbarm/conf/mk.ixm1200 clears 'SYSTEM_LD_TAIL_EXTRA'. After comments it out, everything works fine....
Thanks,

I did the following things: (1) set MDSET_NOSTRIP in Makefile to skip symbol strip of kernel. (2) I turn on DEBUG="-g", per some old posts. (3) I set the symbolsize to be non-zero in md code before calling ksyms_init(actually, I set it the same as SYMTAB_SPACE value in conf file).

Simple question: Did you remember to run dbsym on the kernel?
